Balmoral Arms

Located in the village of Ballater, in the heart of Royal Deeside, Balmoral Arms is a traditional Scottish inn offering comfortable accommodation, cosy interiors and a relaxed atmosphere. Formerly known as The Deeside Inn, the hotel is a convenient base for exploring the Cairngorms National Park and the surrounding countryside.

The hotel offers a range of dining options, including The Ghillies Bar where guests can enjoy traditional Scottish dishes and locally sourced produce. The bar is dog friendly, so four-legged visitors can join their owners for lunch or dinner. Dogs are also welcome in the lounge, with its comfortable seating and open fires, and can even join guests for breakfast in a designated area.

Balmoral Arms offers dog friendly bedrooms, with a maximum of two dogs per room. There is an additional charge of £25 per dog per night, and dog beds, water bowls and treats are available.

With woodland trails, riverside walks and the hills of Royal Deeside nearby, there are plenty of opportunities to explore the area with your dog. The hotel is also within easy reach of popular walking spots around Ballater, including Craigendarroch Hill and the River Dee.
